Speed Deadlift with Bands
10 x 2 @ 50-60%
25-20-15-10 of:
Dimmel Deadlift 135/95
Bar Facing Burpees
Conventional Deadlift
Drap the band over the bar length wise, and step through the middle. You want to be careful to line up centered on the bar and the band. Use the reference markings on the bar and spread the band out evenly until it has some tension on it.
Sumo Deadlift
For the sumo, drape the band over the bar and step through both ends. Line up your feet and line up the band in the center of the bar. If the band is two long and has slack, wrap it around the bar once and that should take the slack out.
Thanks to Mark and Jesse for showing us this easy way to deadlift with bands. They had a rule at their seminar that if we stole thier stuff, we had to give them credit for it twice. I owe them one more on this one, then it's mine.

The comment of the morning comes from Barbra... She said, "Hey, it looks like MR. BANANA and I ain't referring to the color of that shirt!" Way to go Barb, we can always count on you to spice up the gym at 8am.

Let him have people... He posted this pic of himself for a reason... Reason 1 is because he wants all to learn how to perform this move... reason # 2...? let's see who can figure it out!
Don't let him fool you in to thinking he didn't know!

HA! BALLS!

I notice Justin is barefoot in the photos, I wonder where he stuffed his socks?
Apparently the banded dead lifts are also called MOOSE KNUCKLE deadlifts.
At least his form isnt JUNK-y in those photos.
On the instrcutions about putting the band on the bar, I read nothing about stuffing plums into the front of your pants.
Apparently, Justin really, really likes banded deadlifts.

If at the top of the deadlift you dont get your shoulders back and lift your scrotum with the bar, is it a no-rep?
Posted by: Brother Mike | July 22, 2011 at 09:25 AM
Whole new spin on a "press". What would we name it?? Strict ball press? Push nut press? Sac jerk?? Hmmmm....the possibilities really are endless.
Posted by: Jamie P | July 22, 2011 at 09:26 AM
Oh, I get it, Justin is marketting a new PACKAGE deal for CFES.
Posted by: Brother Mike | July 22, 2011 at 09:28 AM
You know, people have complained about blood and sweat on bars, that seems a minor issue compared to the teabag deadlift.

"IT'S A BOY! 8 lbs 9oz and 18 inches long"
"Justin - I see you finally managed to pull that tampon out"

I've got a business idea - "pre-socked unitards".
Posted by: Olga B | July 22, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Are we at 20 yet? Good grief.
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 10:21 AM
I bruise my chest when I do power cleans. What's going to get damaged when I do these things?
The lifting bar.
Posted by: Pete H | July 22, 2011 at 10:21 AM
Justin is just showing us how elite his penis is... no big deal.
Posted by: Ryan Lippmann | July 22, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Pete! You win for funniest comment.
Posted by: Jamie P | July 22, 2011 at 10:26 AM
Justin: see what happens when you get cocky? It never pays off (trust me).
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Olga is now going to be looking for models on which to base the pre-stuffed unitard.
Anyone else see the movie Waiting? Seems like this only gets one point- whereas a view from the back would be a three pointer.
if you don't know the rules to the ball showing game, here are the links:

Upon further consideration, if the bar comes high enough, you might get two points for the bat-wing.
Posted by: Brother Mike | July 22, 2011 at 10:40 AM
You know... I had no idea what the eff was going on till y'all started talking about it.
Lene and Broski... You know how I know you're gay?
Posted by: Sean V. | July 22, 2011 at 10:47 AM
Justin: as Wyatt Earp said, speed is nice, but accuracy is everything.
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Pete... HILARIOUS!
Posted by: Sean V. | July 22, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Wow, it's amazing how you miss little details when you check the blog on your phone instead of a computer.
Posted by: Matt P | July 22, 2011 at 10:55 AM
without a doubt, Pete H is going to be the model...
Posted by: Olga B | July 22, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Pete wins!
Posted by: Ashley D | July 22, 2011 at 11:26 AM
Matt P: how little was the detail you missed?
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 11:29 AM
Matt: I mean, was it a teeny-weeny detail? Or a detail that was hard to miss?
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 11:30 AM
I love it. I put up a picture to show you guys how to set up an new exercise and all you see is cock and balls. Not bad for a white boy eh?
It's like we have 200 Beavis and Buttheads for members. Sweet.
-Hang out wit yo wang out.
Posted by: Justin Riley | July 22, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Justin: Oh, I see, it's our fault. Right.
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 11:34 AM
There really ought to be a Not Safe For Work disclaimer above today's post. If I get in trouble with my IT and HR departments for opening the blog today, I'm blaming you, Justin.
Posted by: Steller | July 22, 2011 at 12:29 PM
No Justin - "Work out with your pork out"
Posted by: adam k | July 22, 2011 at 12:49 PM
And Adam has just entered the race for the funniest comment!
Posted by: Jamie P | July 22, 2011 at 01:29 PM
Justin: well anyway don't let a little thing like that bother you.
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 01:30 PM
Justin, you didn't really expect anything different did you....with this group???
Pete always wins!
Posted by: John Michelmore | July 22, 2011 at 01:48 PM
I was in at the noon class and I had to no rep a few people for not hitting their scrotum on the banded dead lifts.
Posted by: Brother Mike | July 22, 2011 at 01:56 PM

Posted by: J P Carey | July 22, 2011 at 02:08 PM
Hey John, where'd you get a picture of my cat?
Posted by: Steller | July 22, 2011 at 03:11 PM
Oh, just when I thought we were done hearing about Justin's package, John posts a picture of his pus.... MEOW!
Posted by: Anne | July 22, 2011 at 03:22 PM
Anne! You've entered the race, too! So far, Pete, Adam, and Anne are battling it out for funniest comment re Justin's Thang.
Posted by: Jamie P | July 22, 2011 at 03:47 PM
Hahaha, Anne, funny... Going to a comedy club last night was a total waste, I should have waited 'til this morning.
Posted by: Olga B | July 22, 2011 at 05:03 PM
Lifting is at 10 tomorrow for all you preparing to compete. Get ready to go heavy and get a PR!
Posted by: Justin Riley | July 22, 2011 at 05:04 PM
Justin: I'm not sure I see your point.
Posted by: Scott | July 22, 2011 at 05:09 PM
Changing the subject.... Heard that Alice got her first muscle up today! Congratulations, Alice! You rock!!
Posted by: Eileen | July 22, 2011 at 07:40 PM
How about hiking Mt. Tallac in Tahoe over the first weekend in August? Olga?
Posted by: Shem | July 22, 2011 at 07:49 PM
My werksan weightlifting singlet arrived today . . . I could show up in it in at any WOD at any time.
You have been warned- unlike the whipped cream incident at least you get a warning before being scarred for life by this scene.
Posted by: brother mike | July 22, 2011 at 07:57 PM
Shem, will Sunday August 7th work?
Posted by: Olga B | July 22, 2011 at 10:21 PM
Sure, let's get it done. I just hope Justin isn't out doing Wang Chung tonight
Posted by: Shem | July 22, 2011 at 10:47 PM
MADE YOU LOOK!
